A Very Warm West Country Welcome!

Well how a week can fly by! The authorities here in Weymouth & Portland have done an amazing job - a great Park & Ride scheme, lots of cycle storage points, tons of friendly helpers to advise you and give you directions, pop concerts every evening, the Live Site with full Olympic coverage, and of course the Nothe viewing area. It's all fantastic!

Of course it's not the same as China, Qingdao is a city of millions not a British seaside resort but the welcome is just as warm and more personal rather than the almost military precision and impersonal feeling at the 2008 regatta.
